Yes. Quit Starbucks too. Smallest drip coffee for $3, smallest latte for $5? Give me a break. The fact their employees have gotten grosser and grosser and less professional made it that much easier. Don’t miss it at all.

Are we the only people who don’t use Doordash or Uber Eats?

You are not alone. We I have only every used Uber eats once- kid forgot to bring his lunch to camp and I was already far away ar work, lol.

If we order take out we pick it up ourselves. I hate wasting money on delivery services and restaurant lose money when you use these services too.

I pick up my own orders too. After my last 5 orders from different places all got messed up as in missing food, completely wrong order. I don't blame the delivery people, it's easier for me to go in person, check, and sort it out.

Unfortunately yes. We used to eat out a lot and get a lot of take out. Many times the food was mediocre anyway, but I am sad about some of my favorite places and worried they won’t survive.

I never use those delivery services, I have no desire to pay top dollar plus tip for food that was prepared an hour ago and kept warm in a bag. If I do want to order out but eat in I go pick it up myself.

Yes, especially on take out. The final straw for me is restaurants adding a 20% service charge and then adding a tip button that starts at 20%, usually at restaurants that have you order everything by QR code so there’s no actual service. Nope.

Yes. We cut back on carry out, never go to restaurants anymore.

We even cut back on weekly grocery shops. I no longer go once a week and fill my cart. Instead, I shop from local meat distributors and do little shops here and there as needed.

No, because we weren't eating out much at all. Once every month, take-out.

100%

I buy Costco pizza because I refuse to pay like $47 for an and eight slice pie. I just doctor slices with whatever I have in house and put them under broiler- drizzle a little olive oil, sautéed spinach or mustard greens, leftover roasted vegetables, marinated artichokes or olives, finish with Parmesan. My husband eats it as is- plain pepperoni. Sometimes I will top with a field greens salad a la California Pizza Company.

Yes, we rarely even get take out anymore.

I've lost 7 pounds, and saved money.

The bs 5% COVID recovery fee last week did it for me. No more eating out.

Yes, I've definitely cut back. I didn't eat out much before, but now I can no longer justify the cost. For nights that I don't have time to cook, I've resorted to some frozen meals, which isn't ideal, but it's the best I can do some days.
